Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam with an urban population of just under 13 million. The city shows most growth potential in mechanical, automation, electronics chemical products and food processing. It is considered a rising economic hub in ASEAN.
Areas that still require significant attention are congestion and traffic safety.
While the city performs lower today in Investor Attractiveness and Assets and Infrastructure, it is expected that new industrial parks, investment incentive policies and a growing skilled workforce will propel the city forward. With a substantial infrastructure project pipeline of 19 projects, and more expected, the city should expect significant growth in investment - where the right policies and regulations are in place.
